Hi all,
I'm trying to duplicate a clip and I'm getting a type mismatch error.
Undoubtedly it's something silly but I'm not getting anywhere fast.
I have a flash movie with a .as file attached. In the .as file, I want
to copy a movie clip.
Inside the _customerArt array are two MovieClips
This is the code here:
* _currentCustomer = _customerArt[customerType];
createEmptyMovieClip("_newCustomer", getNextHighestDepth());
//duplicateMovieClip("_currentCustomer", "_newCustomer",
this.getNextHighestDepth());
trace("_currentCustomer = ["+_currentCustomer+"] and
_newCustomer = ["+_newCustomer+"]");
*
two things, the duplicate line is only commented out to allow the trace
to work (the mismatch stops execution) the trace outputs the following:
* _currentCustomer = [_level0.mcDavid] and _newCustomer =
[_level0.mcSalesScreen._newCustomer]*
I have tried creating the empty clip and not creating it - no
difference. Both _currentCustomer and _newCustomer are vars declared at
the top of the class.
Any idea why I'm getting a type mismatch?
Docs say:
*duplicateMo**vieClip(target:String, newname:String, depth:Number) :
Void *
looks to me like I'm using two strings and a number.
i have tried this definition:
* duplicateMovieClip(target:MovieClip, newname:String, depth:Number)
: Void*
and I have also tried
* _newCustomer = this.duplicateMovieClip("_currentCustomer",
this.getNextHighestDepth());*
But that's not working either.
Any ideas?
Cheers
David
